Attorney General Wont Rule Out Warrantless Wiretaps of Purely Domestic Telephone Conversations of Americans

"After citing his concerns that there was no limiting principle to the Administration's claim of authority in the War on Terror, Rep. Schiff asked the Attorney General whether the Administration believes it has the authority to wiretap purely domestic calls between two Americans without seeking a warrant. 'I'm not going to rule it out,' responded the Attorney General. "

WTF?!? Well, if he won't rule it out, then perhaps we can get the Supreme Court to rule it out for him? This is clearly overstepping the boundaries of presidential power, and it needs to be stopped. If the Bush administration won't stop it voluntarily, then perhaps it's time to ask the aid of France in overthrowing another dictator?
